I haven't uploaded any tabs before so this is my first one but it sounds just about spot on. 
This song is from Dallas Green's new album and it's absolutely amazing. I'm not entirely 
sure about chord names but they're written down there.

I used to be quite resilient
Gain no strength from counting the beads on a rosary 
Now the wound has begun to turn
Another lesson that has gone unlearned
But this is not a cry for pitty or for sympathy

I guess I take after my mother    x2
